Williams have hired Ferrari's former head of tyre performance Antonio Spagnolo.
The Italian joins the British team as competitor analysis and performance concept team leader, having previously served as race and performance engineer to Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso during an 11 year stint with Ferrari.
Williams said that Spagnolo's role would focus on "understanding our competitors' strengths and identifying areas of our performance which require prioritisation of resources".
The team's chief technical officer, Pat Symonds added that Spagnolo's appointment would help the team move forward.
"Williams is determined to continue the positive momentum it has had since 2014 and, with new additions to the team, hopes to become even stronger," he said. "We are constantly seeing ways to improve our performance and trackside operations and believe Antonio will make a valuable contribution to this process."
"As a team, we will do our utmost to achieve our on-track ambitions and secure strong positions in the constructors' championship this season, and beyond."
